House-training
-
To be a good companion and member of the family, a dog should be house-trained.
-
House training can be accomplished by allowing the new puppy outside shortly after eating or several times during the day. This will allow the pup to pass urine and defecate.
-
If an occasional accident occurs, use the words bad dog and immediately take the puppy outside.
-
Patience, correction and praise will soon accomplish the objectives.
-
As the puppy gets older, it will make its way to the door and "ask" to be allowed outside.
Paper training
-
Another method used is known as paper training. This involves laying several layers of newspaper down on the floor, usually in the area where the puppy will normally be fed.
-
Place the puppy's food and water bowl on the newspaper; the puppy will usually relieve itself shortly after eating. Try to confine the puppy to the newspaper until it relieves itself.
-
If a mistake occurs, use the words bad dog and place the puppy on the newspaper area with elimination.
-
As the training progresses, the area covered by the newspaper can be made smaller and moved closer to the door.
-
Eventually, the newspaper can be moved outside and the puppy allowed to go outside to relieve itself
